Karl Davey Community Achievement Award

Good Morning,

I am proud to announce that our former GSYAA President, Mrs. Martha D. Coleman will be honored at the Northern Virginia Hall of Fame Banquet as the recipient of the Karl Davey Community Achievement Award. Mrs. Coleman joined our program as a parent back in 2006 with her husband Eugene and her 2 sons, E.J. and Cameron. Over the years, she worked tirelessly as a volunteer and became president soon after. She was the catalyst in us receiving our 501(c)3 status and built relationships within the community to help our program. While you may not see her as much now due to other major commitments, she is always working behind the scenes at GSYAA and is trying to bridge the gap between the community and church. Here is the description of the award: The Karl Davey Award, named for one of the founders, is presented to individuals who have made a significant and lasting impact on the sport and our community. Past recipients included individuals from all aspects of the game in Northern Virginia.
